Regional Subject Lead - Science (South) job summary

Inspire Scientific Excellence Across the South

Science has the power to change lives, open doors and shape the future. At , we're looking for an exceptional Regional Subject Lead for Science (South) who shares our ambition to ensure every young person experiences a world-class Science education, regardless of background or circumstance.

This is a career defining opportunity for an outstanding Science educator to influence practice well beyond their own classroom or academy. Working across a family of academies, you will be a catalyst for improvement, helping schools develop thriving Science departments, ambitious curricula and high performing teams that inspire students to become the scientists, innovators and problem solvers of tomorrow.

What You'll Be Doing

As Regional Subject Lead for Science, you will be a trusted advisor, coach and strategic leader, working across the South Region to strengthen teaching, develop leadership capacity and improve student outcomes. You will collaborate with academy principals, senior leaders and Heads of Science to identify priorities, tackle challenges and implement evidence-informed approaches that deliver lasting impact.

From leading professional development programmes and supporting curriculum planning to reviewing departmental effectiveness and developing future leaders, you will play a central role in ensuring the highest standards of Science education are embedded across our academies.

You will not simply support improvement; you will help shape it.

Your Regional Reach

This highly rewarding role offers the opportunity to work across academies throughout London, Bristol, Southampton. You will spend your time where it matters most, alongside school leaders and teaching teams, supporting academies on their improvement journey and helping them achieve excellence.

The role is predominantly field based, with regular travel between academies and occasional national travel to support wider trust initiatives. Overnight stays will be required from time to time, with all approved travel and accommodation expenses fully funded.

What You'll Bring to the Role

We're seeking a respected Science leader with the credibility, expertise and drive to influence educational practice across multiple settings. You will have a strong track record of improving outcomes, leading successful teams and developing others to achieve their potential. Whether your expertise lies in Biology, Chemistry, Physics or the wider Science curriculum, you will possess a deep understanding of effective teaching, assessment and curriculum development.

You will be someone who thrives on collaboration, enjoys working with a diverse range of stakeholders and is motivated by seeing others succeed. Strong interpersonal skills, strategic thinking and a commitment to educational excellence will be key to your success in this role.

Together, We Make a Difference

This role offers a rare opportunity to contribute to educational transformation across an entire region. Rather than impacting one academy, you will help shape the experiences and outcomes of thousands of young people across multiple communities.

You will join a trust that is committed to continuous improvement, values professional growth and believes in the power of education to create social change. Working alongside talented colleagues and educational leaders, you will have the opportunity to influence regional strategy, develop future leaders and leave a lasting legacy across our academies.

If you're an ambitious Science leader who wants to drive meaningful change, build capacity in others and help create exceptional opportunities for young people across the South Region, we'd love to hear from you.
